Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.44%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An input validation vulnerability was found in Ansible's mysql_user module before 2.2.1.0, which may fail to correctly change a password in certain circumstances. Thus the previous password would still be active when it should have been changed.
